Today, we prepare for our hatch! Our ducks are due on Monday, which means we need to make the eggs as comfortable as possible. We took our automatic turner out, because the eggs don't need to be turned anymore. We also put cheesecloth over the grates so the duck's feet don't get caught after they hatch. We spread the eggs out, so the ducks have lots of room to get out of their eggs.

| We put wet sponges in and added more water to increase the humidity in our incubator, ducks need high humidity in order to break free of their shell |
